Default Copying a table from Word

Hello,

I am trying to copy a table from Word into Excel. The cells contain mostly
text. Excel Help says to select the table cells in Word and the "copy"
command , then select the top left cell in Excel and use the "paste" command
- very simple.

However, the data is not pasted fromcell to cell: Many of the cells in the
word table contain paragraph breaks. Excel separates data from a single Word
cell into multiple cells based on these paragraph breaks.

Is there any way to get Excel to ignore the paragraph breaks within the text
and simple paste everything from the Word table cell into a since Excel cell?

Thanks.
